Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) printing with high-resolution stereolithography (SLA) has grown in popularity for creating personalized medical devices. 3D printing is now starting to expand to weight-bearing components, e.g., ...

Abstract: The types of biomedical devices that can be three-dimensional printed (3DP) are limited by the mechanical properties of the resulting materials. As a result, much research has been focused on adding carbon nanotubes (CNT) ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the scarcity of comprehensive studies on the collective impact of various parametric lattice designs on mesostructure functionality. Focusing on optimizing the energy absorption of a serpentine ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between forceplate inaccuracies and joint torques during running. Instrumented gait analysis data were collected on a single subject running above ground. A Monte ...

Abstract: This study introduces a framework for cosimulating neuromuscular dynamics and knee joint mechanics during gait. A knee model was developed that included 17 ligament bundles and a representation of the distributed contact ...

Abstract: This paper illustrates three examples of how to implement dynamic lifting support, including the solution adopted in the Up n’ Free® (Easy-Walking Inc., Maple Glen, PA). The Up n' Free system can lift the user from a seated ...
